324,000 kms drained transmission sump and refilled 3.6 litres of Nulon full synthetic multi vehicle transmission fluid through the dipstick hole.

Old fluid had completed almost 70,000 kms with no discernible loss in performance however fluid was very dark and magnetic drain plug had some deposits.

At 352,000 kms and exactly 100,000 kms of mostly trouble-free operation I've decided to give her in to the great crushing ball in the sky. Interior is pretty trashed, dash is creaking/groaning

Wrecker offered $250 so I'm happy.

With no A/C I couldn't imagine another Summer of driving her so the 2001 V70 T5 has replaced her for now.
